An option to display threads in their thread groups would be awesome about jvmtop

[GoogleCodeExporter]

While I am begging for features, adding a column for thread priority would be 
nice.

Unfortunately, I see no possibilities of getting thread group / priority using 
the java management extensions which jvmtop uses.
That's the reason why jconsole/visualvm can't display these either.

Patric,
If the plan is to use the ThreadMXBean interface only, then I agree.
However, the Thread and ThreadGroup classes provide some more tools.


What do you think of this post?

Hi Dave,

the problem is that due to the remote nature of jvmtop and its use of the 
java.lang.management API, jvmtop has no access to the actual (remote jvm's) 
Thread and ThreadGroup instances.

I have doubts that this is possible at all, however if there's way to retrieve 
such information I'd be curious about the solution.
I'm keeping this issue open for a while.

Cheers,
-Patric

Well, I'm not looking to have anyone go crazy in a futile attempt at the 
impossible.  Feel free to close at your discretion.
